Would not buy again

My first Vertex lasted 11 years. I replaced it in 2019 with another and lasted 7 years. I would not buy another. Going to the GPVX75L

AO Smith warranty

I had a Vertex for heat and hot water for 16 years. When it started leaking I didn't give it a second thought and bought another. We had an issue from the start. AO Smith sent 2 techs here which appeared as though they were looking for any reason to void the warranty. After 2 weeks (and 1 week of no heat or hot water) they decided to replace the unit. Stating the warranty does not cover labor. I don't know how I am to know if the unit is bad if I don't install it. BAD Policy in my opinion The staff at Supply house were sympathetic to my situation but would not even contact AO Smith regarding this. The new unit is fine so far. I have my fingers crossed.
